In areas like Hawaii and Florida, veiled chameleons are considered an invasive species. Researchers believe they were released accidentally or on purpose by previous owners. As a result, they have damaged the livelihood of many endemic species, either by out competing them or by praying upon them. In fact, veiled chameleons are believed to have single-handedly driven some species to become classified as near threatened.

Present Status
Veiled chameleons have a status of Least Concern because there are no major threats affecting their population. They are part of the pet trade, but most are bred in captivity instead of being captured in the wild. Also, the demand for them as pets has declined. Habitat loss is a concern, although this species is highly adaptive.
